When I posted this event up yesterday, I did not expect all 50 seats to be snapped up within 2 hours, so I had to close the registration early.

I apologise to all those who did not manage to get a slot for this workshop, so we have created another event after the Chinese New Year.

You can register for the next event here, or sign up for our mailing list to get priority updates:

Thank You For Another Full House Workshop at CIMB Securities!

2015 01 29 20.14.01

Today, I was supposed to meet up with Wendy Kwek for lunch, but ended up having a chit-chat with her about the property market in her office. I gained a lot of useful insights on the property market, and interestingly, she mentioned that property prices are unlikely to correct more than 5-10%, and will probably continue upwards after the cooling measures are lifted after the elections.

Looks like this year will be a good time for me to purchase my first condo. 😀

After that, I headed down to CIMB Securities to prepare for my workshop.

It was another awesome full-house event, and the audience was great, with all the sharing and stock picks.

For those who are keen on taking up the special offer, there are only 9 slots left for our training program.

For those who want to make a change in their financial position this year, I suggest not delaying any further, as this year is the year of opportunities, with many good trades coming up. See you there! 😀

I Am Now Officially a Certified Financial Technician (CFTe) by the International Federation of Technical Analysts (IFTA)!

CCI12242014

After passing level 1 of the Certified Financial Technican (CFTe) exams a few months back with a whooping score of 86 (passing score is 74), I went on to take level 2 of the exam, and was recently notified that I have passed! Yay! 😀

What is this Certified Financial Technican (CFTe) exam all about?

Basically, it is something like the CFA exams, but for technical analysts and traders.

What is tested during these exams?

The syllabus is very comprehensive, and not for the faint-hearted. 😀

It took me 2 whole weeks of serious studying/revising to cover all the topics.

How recognised is this certification?

Well, for starters, it is recognised internationally in 26 countries, and it is not easy to achieve, hence it is much more “rare” than the more common CFA.

Going forward, I think that it is important for SGX or MAS to “force” all trainers to take more accreditation exams or certifications, to ensure their competency and raise the standards of all trainings in the industry.

With the proliferation of blogging and social media, it is now easy for anyone to become an instant market Guru overnight, and start conducting classes for software/training, etc. Having such certifications will help the public discern the real traders/trainers from the lemons in the market, who give the industry a bad name.

Even though I have achieved financial freedom 2 years back, I have never stopped learning – spending over $10k on courses and trainings just last year alone.

Even with my double degrees, I still continue to pursue more lifelong skills, which include certifications, courses, and most importantly I still read at least 1 book a week.

And as I strive to keep improving and continually invest in myself, I hope that through this blog, I am able to help others master the right skills and achieve early financial freedom too!

Cheers! 😀
